Pros

The experience was positive in many ways. The quality of work was good, and the collaboration within the engineering and product teams was impressive. The company also maintains a healthy work-life balance and genuinely values life beyond work, which creates a pleasant and flexible work environment.

Cons

However, the opportunities for learning and career growth are quite limited due to the company’s small size. The business operates in a very narrow niche within Global Mobility and Immigration, which restricts its potential for long-term growth. For Jobbatical to truly scale, it needs to focus on developing stronger and more diverse revenue streams. Because of financial constraints and restructuring, many talented employees eventually leave or are let go, which is not an encouraging sign for the company’s stability or future. And this is quite a routine at Jobbatical.

Pros

- Feeling more excited to check Slack in the morning than Facebook - Small and international yet close-knit team where everyone's input is truly valued for shaping the company - Perfect for globetrotters (we're about to move to Malaysia for the winter!) - People's eyes light up when we tell them what we're up to

Cons

- Feeling frustrated that not enough people know about the gem of Estonia - Trying to explain to your grandparents what you do
